THE SHIVA NATARAJA <br /> <br />The Shiva Nataraja portrays the entier kinetic <br />universe, <br />Where every thing is in an eternal state of flux! <br />Right from the miniscule atoms and the massive <br />galaxies, <br />Always spiralling around, which our normal eyes <br />cannot see! <br />As planets and stars vibrate in their celestial <br />motion; <br />The hour - glass 'drum' in Shiva's right hand, - <br />symbolises all creation! <br />While the fire in the left hand ushers in the cyclic <br />time frame of destruction! <br />The raised third hand is in a gesture of infinite <br />benediction; <br />And the fourth hand pointing to His upraised <br />foot, - <br />Shows the path of liberation! <br />Lord Siva's cosmic dance through eternal time <br />and space, in ever fluid motion; <br />Forever celebrates celestial destruction and <br />glorious transformation! <br /> <br /> <br /> Raj Nandy <br /> New Delhi <br /> 07 Jul 08<br /><br />RAJ NANDY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-shiva-nataraja/
